Hon.  Herman  A.  Metz,  Comptroller : 

Sir — At  a meeting  of  the  Board  of  Estimate  and  Apportionment,  held  December 
11,  1908,  a communication  was  presented  from  the  Chairman  and  Secretary  of  the 
Public  Service  Commission  for  the  First  District,  requesting  an  appropriation  of 
$987,500,  pursuant  to  the  provisions  of  section  10,  chapter  4,  Laws  of  1891,  as  amended 
by  section  14,  chapter  429,  Laws  of  1907,  for  the  expenses  and  the  compensation  of 
employees  of  said  Commission  'for  the  year  ending  December  31,  1909,  which  was 
referred  to  you  for  consideration  and  report,  and  by  you  to  the  Bureau  of  Municipal 
Investigation  and  Statistics. 

I beg  to  report  as  follows  : 

The  Rapid  Tansit  Act  became  a law  January  31,  1891.  At  the  end  of  June  30,  1907. 
sixteen  years  and  six  months  later,  the  City  possessed  one  completed  subway  at  a con- 
struction cost  of  $46,774,795.13,  and  a partially  completed  subway  to  Brooklyn,  at  a 
construction  cost  of  $2,690,255.22,  the  total  amount  expended  on  construction  being 
$49,464,050.35. 

The  administrative  cost  of  doing  $49,464,050.35  worth  of  work  was  $4,520,753.55, 
chiefly  expended  for  salaries.  The  percentage  of  administrative  cost,  exclusive  of 
construction,  was  9.13. 

These  figures  represent  the  total  of  the  activities  of  the  Rapid  Transit  Commission, 
which  was  abolished  July  1,  1907.  The  Rapid  Transit  Commission  was  succeeded  on 
July  1,  1907,  by  the  Public  Service  Commission. 

For  lack  of  money  the  construction  work  of  the  Public  Service  Commission  has 
been  confined  to  completing  the  Manhattan-Brooklyn  tunnels  and  the  Brooklyn  loop 
lines,  both  of  which  works  were  inaugurated  by  the  late  Rapid  Transit  Commission. 

In  the  last  six  months  of  1907  the  Public  Service  Commission  expended  for  admin- 
istration, $435,473.48.  For  the  year  1908,  the  Commission  made  requisition  upon  the 
Board  of  Estimate  and  Apportionment  for  $1,095,000,  and  requisition  has  been  made 
-upon  the  Board  of  Estimate  and  Apportionment  for  1909  for  $987,500. 

If  the  requisition  for  1909  for  $987,500  is  granted  the  Public  Service  Commission 
will  have  expended  during  the  two  years  and  a half  of  its  existence  ending  December 
31.  1909,  a total  of  $2,517,973.48,  a sum  equal  to  more  than  half  of  that  expended 
during  sixteen  years  and  a half  by  the  old  Rapid  Transit  Commission. 

The  Rapid  Transit  Commission  expended  during  the  first  sixteen  even  years  of 
its  existence  an  average  of  $344,119.97  annually.

The  Public  Service  Commission,  as  now  constituted,  performs  its  functions  through 
the  following  official  divisions  : 

1.  Five  Commissioners,  Secretary  and  Counsel. 

2.  Office  Staff. 

3.  Bureau  of  Statistics  and  Accounts. 

4.  Bureau  of  Franchises. 

5.  Chief  Engineer’s  Staff. 

6.  Bureau  of  Subway  Construction  (main). 

7.  Bureaus  of  Subway  Construction. 

(a)  First  Division. 

(b)  Second  Division. 

(c)  Third  Division. 

(d)  Fourth  Division. 

(e)  Fifth  Division. 

(f)  Sewer  Division. 

(g)  Arbitration  Bureau. 

8.  Department  of  Inspection  of  Material 

9.  Law  Department. 

10.  Bureau  of  Gas  and  Electricity. 

11.  Transportation  Bureau. 

12.  Department  of  Appraisal. 


The  sole  function  of  the  Rapid  Transit  Commission  was  to  devise  new  means  of 
rapid  transit.  In  addition  to  devising  new  means  of  transit,  jurisdiction  and  super- 
vision was  granted  to  the  Public  Service  Commission  over : 


All  railroads  operating  exclusively  in  Greater  New  York. 

All  street  railways  operating  within  or  partly  within  and  partly  without  Greater 
New  York. 


All  persons  or  corporations  manufacturing  or  selling  gas  and  electricity. 


The  Rapid  Transit  Commission  did  not  begin  the  supervision  of  actual  con- 
struction until  March  24,  1900,  when  the  Manhattan-Bronx  subway  was  started.  The 
annual  disbursements,  for  administration,  exclusive  of  any  expenditure  for  construction, 
for  the  years  from  1900  to  1906,  inclusive,  were :

The  average  Annual  expenditure  of  the  Rapid  Transit  Commission  during  the 
seven  years  of  actual  construction  was  $539,810.21. 

The  expenditures  for  1907  are  divided  about  equally  between  the  Rapid  Transit 
Commission  in  the  first  six  months  of  1907  and  the  Public  Service  Commission  in  the 
last  six  months  of  1907. 

The  Public  Service  Commission  was  not  fully  organized  for  business  until  Janu- 
ary 1.  1908:  therefore  its  appropriation,  for  1908,  $1,000,000,  and  its  requisition  for  1909, 
$987,500,  form  the  only  correct  basis  upon  which  to  estimate  its  present  average  annual 
expenditures.  The  average  of  these  two  sums  is  $993,750.  This  is  the  true  annual 
average  upon  which  the  Public  Service  Commission  is  at  present  operating,  based  on 
the  assumption  that  its  1909  disbursements  will  be  equal  to  its  1909  requisition. 

The  following  is  a summary  of  employees  added  by  the  Public  Service  Commis- 
sion to  its  payrolls  since  July  1,  1907,  when  the  Commission  began  its  formal  existence 
(a  table  is  presented  indicating  by  person,  date  and  salary  such  additions  to  the  pay- 
rolls, exclusive  of  Commissioners,  Counsel  and  Secretary,  whose  salaries  are  paid  by 


the  State) : 

Office  Staff  $69,600  00 

Bureau  of  Statistics  and  Accounts 22,020  00 

Bureau  of  Franchises 11,100  00 

Bureau  of  Subway  Construction 100,031  00 

Bureau  of  Subway  Construction  (First  Division) 17,904  00 

Law  Department  40,140  00 

Bureau  of  Gas  and  Electricity 35,031  00 

Transportation  Bureau 82,240  00 

Department  of  Appraisal 82,867  00 


Total $458,933  00 


The  average  annual  expenditure  of  the  old  Rapid  Transit  Commission  was,  as  has 
-been  stated,  $539,810.21.  This  amount  can  be  fairly  taken  as  representing  the  expend- 
itures of  the  Public  Service  Commission  for  the  identical  character  of  work  done  by  it, 
or,  rather,  continued  by  it.  If  this  is  a correct  assumption,  the  difference  between 
$539,810.21,  the  average  annual  expenditures  during  actual  construction  of  the  Rapid 
Transit  Commission,  and  $987,500,  the  proposed  expenditures ' for  1909  of  the  Public 
Service  Commission,  should  approximate  a sum  representing  the  new  things  being  done 
or  proposed  to  be  done  by  the  Public  Service  Commission. 

That  difference  is  $447,689.79. 

The  amount  of  the  new  payroll  of  the  Public  Service  Commission,  caused  by  the 
addition  of  new  employees  since  July  1,  1907,  is  $458>933,  only  slightly  in  excess  of 
the  difference  just  cited,  certainly  close  enough  to  confirm  the  assumption.

In  order  to  get  a basis  of  comparison  your  Examiner  set  up  a graphic  chart, 
indicating  the  functions  of  the  old  Board,  which  were  continued  in  the  new,  together 
with  the  amounts  respectively  devoted  to  those  functions,  while  blank  spaces  were  left 
indicating  excesses  to  be  explained.  This  chart  is  attached  to  this  report,  and  marked 
Exhibit  A.  The  chart  showed  that  as  against  $45,927.28.  the  average  annual  expenditure 
by  the  Rapid  Transit  Board,  from  1900  to  1906,  inclusive,  in  the  executive  department, 
the  Public  Service  Commission  expended  in  1908,  $285,148.45,  the  excess  of  which  is 
made  up  of  $91,000  paid  to  the  Commissioners,  their  Secretary  and  Counsel,  and 
$148,221.17,  made  up  of  general  executive  and  administrative  expenses. 

The  expenditures  'further  cited  here  are  the  expenditures  for  1908  of  the  Public 
Service  Commission  set  up  against  the  average  annual  expenditures  of  the  Rapid 
Transit  Board  from  1900  to  1906,  inclusive,  being  the  years  of  actual  subway  construc- 
tion work. 

For  the  legal  department  the  Rapid  Transit  Board  expended  $46,120.83,  as  against 
$67,323.63  for  the  Public  Service  Commission. 

For  engineering  and  subway  construction  work  the  Rapid  Transit  Commission 
expended  $445,619.24,  as  against  $493,279.44  for  the  Public  Service  Commission. 

In  addition  thereto  and  for  entirely  new  purposes  the  Public  Service  Commis- 
sion expended  in  1908,  for  the  Bureau  of  Franchises,  $9,906.05;  for  the  Bureau  of 
Statistics,  $26,299.35 ; for  the  Bureau  of  Gas  and  Electricity,  $29,732.87 ; for  the  Bureau 
of  Transportation,  $103,752.50;  for  the  Department  of  Appraisal,  $40,792.57 ; for 
miscellaneous  bills  of  the  old  Board,  $2,435.20. 

This  chart  was  used  as  a basis  of  discussion  between  your  Examiner  and  the 
Secretary  of  the  Public  Service  Commission,  who,  in  his  turn,  furnished  a chart  which 
set  up  as  a fairer  basis  of  comparison  the  expenditures  of  the  old  Board  for  1906,  the 
last  complete  year,  which  chart  is  attached  hereto,  and  marked  Exhibit  B,  showing 
that  the  expenditures  of  the  Rapid  Transit  Commission  for  all  purposes  in  1906  were 
$751,696.31,  as  against  $982,844.76  for  the  Public  Service  Commission  for  1908. 

That  the  average  annual  expenditures  of  the  old  Rapid  Transit  Commission 
from  1900  to  1906,  inclusive,  is  a fairer  basis  of  comparison,  is  proved,  when  the’ 
annual  payroll  of  the  new  employees  of  the  Public  Service  Commission  since  July  1, 
1907,  is  added  to  the  expenditures  of  the  year  1906  of  the  Rapid  Transit  Commission, 
respectively  $458,933  and  $751,696.31,  the  sum  being  $1,210,629.31,  an  amount  $227,784.55 
in  excess  of  the  actual  expenditures  of  the  Public  Service  Commission  for  1908. 

An  examination  of  both  the  charts  submitted  indicates  that  a large  part  of  the 
excess  of  the  expenditures  of  the  Public  Service  Commission  is  to  be  found  in  the 
Administrative  or  Executive  Department,  where,  exclusive  of  the  salaries  of  $91,000 
for  Commissioners,  their  Secretary  and  Counsel,  which  amount  is  paid  by  the  State, 
an  excess  of  $148,221.17  is  found  expended  apparently  for  purposes  of  the  same  gen- 
eral character  as  of  the  old  Board. 


7 


It  is  fair  to  record,  however,  that  the  five  Commissioners  constitute  a sort  of 
court  or  courts,  and  that  each  has  an  office  staff,  and  that  much  additional  office 
expense  is  occasioned  by  numerous  public  hearings  of  complaints,  suggestions  and 
plans  regarding  public  utilities. 

It  is  a difficult  matter  to  determine  whether  the  excessive  expenditures  of  the 
Public  Service  Commission  are  justified  or  not,  for  the  employees  are  not  paid  rela- 
tively high  wages,  and  all  those  on  the  payroll  appear  to  be  putting  in  full  time  at 
their  tasks. 

At  this  time,  when  several  plans  of  construction  are  pending,  and  when  the  question 
as  to  whether  City  funds  will  be  available  for  work  is  unsettled,  it  would  probably  be 
futile  to  make  a further  analysis  in  the  hope  of  recommending  an  actual  cutting  of 
expenditures,  which  from  the  general  survey  would  seem  advisable.  The  time  for 
such  an  analysis  would  seem  to  be  later  in  the  year,  when  perhaps  the  questions  now 
concerning  the  debt  limit  will  have  been  settled,  and  in  which  event  an  annual 
expenditure  at  least  equal  to  that  of  1908  may  be  required,  provided  the  work  of 
actual  construction  is  started  again. 

At  the  same  time,  it  appears  from  the  inquiry  thus  far  made  that  the  requisition 
of  $987,500  is  a large,  if  not  excessive  one,  based  upon  the  present  status  of  subway 
construction. 

It  is  therefore  recommended  that  the  Board  of  Estimate  authorize  an  appropria- 
tion of  $500,000,  in  addition  to  the  $300,000  previously  authorized  for  1909.  Before 
this  appropriation  is  exhausted,  the  time  will  be  reached  when  a more  accurate  cal- 
culation of  the  needs  of  the  Public  Service  Commission  can  be  made. 

In  addition  to  Exhibits  A and  B,  there  are  presented : 

EXHIBIT  C — A table  of  the  disbursements  of  the  Public  Service  Commission  for 
1908. 

EXHIBIT  D — A table  showing  the  yearly  expenditures  of  the  Rapid  Transit  Com- 
mission and  the  Public  Service  Commission  from  1894  to  1907,  both  inclusive. 

EXHIBIT  E — A list  of  all  employees  added  to  the  payroll  of  the  Public  Service 
Commission  since  its  beginning,  July  1,  1907. 

Respectfully, 

CHARLES  S.  HERVEY,  Supervising  Statistician  and  Examiner.
